This is with great sadness that we have learned that Urs Scherrer passed away on last the 20th August, when he was 70, following a battle with cancer. Urs has sailed in our class for more than 30 years, accumulating a great record of successes . In the late 90’s, tired to fight to find good crews, Urs shifted to single-handed skiff, first RS600 than Musto Skiff, where he continued to challenge young guys with the determination that all 5O5 sailors knew from him. I personally had the highest respect, for the man and for the sailor. Our thoughts go to Marie-Claire and her Family.
